ShareOne of my favorite things about this time of year is being able to cook food fresh from my garden. As a kid, I remember a favorite lunch of cherry tomatoes still warm from the sun, with slices of cheese and a few crackers. BLT’s with garden tomatoes were a treat for everyone – for […]

ShareTonight I’m going to the Huntington Book Revue for a book signing. Not just any signing. Tonight, I’m going to meet Bethenny. Let me just say that I have been a Bethenny fan since the first episode of The Real Housewives of New York. Under the glitz and glam, there was something so immediately real […]

ShareMy husband is one of those lucky people who comes from a big family on both sides. Not only that, but most of his cousins are in a similar age bracket: late 20’s to about 40, all with burgeoning careers and adult lives and families of their own. Last weekend, we came together with the […]

ShareOur Thanksgiving was everything I’d hoped it would be. A house full of family, an adorable and well behaved baby girl, a long morning walk, a gorgeous table (she said as she pats herself on the back), and heaps of good food. We had roast turkey and deep fried turkey. It rained, so we had […]

ShareI always loved Halloween as a kid. It was the highlight of the fall. And I don’t even like candy. I had the kind of mom who’d make my costumes herself. There were never any store bought mermaid or Miss America costume-in-a-bag outfits in our house. I think the best costume I ever had was […]

ShareMy father is not a cook. Let’s get this straight right away. He is a great many wonderful things, but as far as cooking goes, it’s toast and delivery pizza (and the toast thing is extremely rare, though he’s been doing pretty well on the grill, of late). My mother buys pre-cut Cracker Barrel cheese […]

ShareMost people are of the mindset that when the cat’s away, the mouse will play. In this apartment, the cat and the mouse actually enjoy quite a symbiotic relationship. So really all that happens when the cat is away is that the mouse eats mushrooms. And olives. In abundance. My better half gets home tonight […]

ShareI rode the elevator yesterday with a man who complained bitterly of the cold weather we’ve been having. In fact, that’s pretty much all I’ve heard about since New Years. Every day, the weatherman talks about the “deep freeze in the Northeast,” or the latest cold snap. My doorman keeps telling me to “stay warm!” […]
